“Reflection”

Water drops like thoughts

thoughts like drops of Water

Reflect on the world

world on the Reflection 

Mirrors imitate like ideas

ideas imitate like Mirrors

You are the reflection

reflection are You

Light bounces like thinking

thinking bounces like light

You are the reflection 

reflection are You

You fight the reflection in the water

yet the reflection is You

“Forlorn”

I am Forlorn. I am lost in an endless land of sorrow. I do not belong, I have not any meaning. 

I am crippled from suffering,

The cold and wet droplets of depression fall on my back.

The sharp sting of rejection fills me with agony.

Yet there is an ember of hope in the darkness.

A ember that can set ablaze my suffering.

A hand that can pull me from this pit of sadness.

A small piece of hope in the dark.

I am Forlorn, 

Yet there is an ember, an ember that can awaken me from this sleep of agony.
